Most Unethical Experiments over Years

There are a lot of researchers and doctors have carried out experiments on humans and animals to find cures to certain diseases. However, numerous unethical experiments carried out on human beings such as Stanford prison experiment, speech therapy, CIA experiment and removal of homosexuality.

Stanford Prison Experiment

A study of the psychological effects of becoming a prisoner or prison guard was carried out at Stanford University on 14-20 August 1971 by Philip Zimbardo named Stanford Prison Experiment. On that experiment, a mock prison was created and twelve students were selected out of 75 to play the prisoners to live in it for a while. Another twelve played guards who soon went out of control and their behavior became sadistic and vicious while the prisoners developed severe emotional problems.

Five of the prisoners were so upset that they must quit the experiment early, and the entire experiment was abruptly stopped after only six days

Speech Therapy

More than 20 orphan children in Iowa were involved in the speech therapy. These children were divided into two groups. The positive and encouraging speech therapy gave the first group while the other was unlucky to receive. The children in the second group were made fun of if they stuttered or made mistakes and they grew up with speech problems.
